Our last full day in Paris meant a visit to the\u00c2\u00a0Mus\u00c3\u00a9e d’Orsay<\/a>, where we saw tons of Impressionist paintings and Zoe grew to appreciate art. (One of the first things she did when we got home was write a paper on Mary Cassatt<\/a> – for fun!) We then took a boat ride and walked along the\u00c2\u00a0Seine\u00c2\u00a0and explored our neighborhood before having steak frites and the best creme brulee I’ve ever had! (I had to laugh when Zoe said, “That’s the best one I’ve ever had, too! I mean, it’s only the second time I’ve had it – but it was the best.”) Before jumping on an afternoon flight to Scotland the next day, we spent the morning enjoying croissants and caf\u00c3\u00a9 cr\u00c3\u00a8me (see last photo) and visiting the Mus\u00c3\u00a9e Picasso<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As I told friends when I got home, I had been looking forward to visiting Paris but I didn’t really understand what the fuss was about. Now I know. It’s an amazingly beautiful city, and I love that I got to experience it with my family. When I’m feeling blue or having a down moment I can just shut my eyes and think back to our time there – and to the streets, the cafes, and the museums – and smile. The memories we created were lifelong ones, and I can’t wait to go back someday and make more.<\/p>\n
